You are going to have to get a ruling from the judge on the length of sentencing for VOP. He needs an attorney. He can't do it himself. If he cannot afford one, then he should ask for a public defender to be appointed or contact Legal Aid and see if he can get an attorney there.

I'm not certain that I understand the question. Why do you identify the person as "mother" if she hits her Dad? If someone files assault charges, and you are convicted, your child can be taken away. Usually, that type of action goes through the Department of Children's services.

I thought about you the other day. Allen has a billion point thing. I l'll try to talk to you later. I really wish that the Elton John thing could happen. Sincerely, Kent.

First of all, the Tennessee District Attorneys are very against marijuana usage, because it is a crime. If you are young, and it is your first time offence, then there may be the possibility that a good attorney could get you off of pre-trial diversion. If you could do that, then you would have a...

If you were booked, then you had a right to be bonded out, unless you are on no bond. The 8th Amendment to the United States Constitution provides for bail. There are certain circumstances when you could be denied bail. Those generally involve violent crimes and the ability to leave the country.... View More

I'm not sure if your criminal issue was in Colorado or Tennessee. I would contact an attorney in whichever state it occurred.

If you were not convicted, then I think you have a chance of getting it expunged. If you were convicted or entered into a plea, then you would need to talk... View More

There is no crime involved with adults associating with minors, so long as nothing criminal occurs like threats, abuse, sexual acts, etc.

It is not a crime to be friends with minors. Did something else happen?

It really depends on a lot of things. First, I would look at the language of your probation contract. I have spoken to people who have to either do it over or face jail time for the first violation and other people that get something like 3 strikes before they start looking at something like...

There seem to be a few options. First, I would look at the workers' compensation law angle. Generally speaking, pursuant to T.C.A. Section 50-6-204, you have thirty (30) days to turn in a workers' compensation injury to your employer. If the thirty (30) days have not passed, then turn... View More

It really depends on a lot of factors. The facts of the case will dictate what the District Attorneys may ultimately offer. There are alternatives to jail time, such as probation and community service. Ultimately, the judge must approve everything.

Bonding out just gets you out of jail... View More

This actually happens quite often. You can tell the District Attorney that you made a mistake and will not be prosecuting as the victim/witness.

If you are not subpoenaed to court, you do not have to show. The District Attorney will ultimately make attempts to subpoena you.

If you... View More

I don't understand your question. You don't indicate that there are any criminal charges. If someone merely dies from pneumonia, that, in and of itself, has nothing to do with the criminal law system, so how would you be guilty of tampering with evidence or spoilation of evidence?... View More

Your question does not make sense. If you had more credit than the time sentenced, why would you not have been on probation?

I don't think there is a lot you can do about it now, though. I would talk to a local criminal defense attorney.

You have a Constitutional right to a lawyer. Just tell the Judge that you need to get a lawyer or have one appointed for you.

I would have your lawyer talk to your probation officer and/or judge. If you are not allowed to be around them, there may still be an issue.

It should count. Just check with the jail.

Your question is difficult to understand. You may want to schedule an appointment with a local criminal defense attorney, so that he or she can ask you the appropriate questions.

That appears to be a very fact-based question that may need some more development by witnesses that were around, if any, and/or the strength of your own testimony.

If you knew that there was truly no gun and that the guy was just simply harassing you, it may not rise to the level of a... View More

I don't think that it really matters (but may be taken into consideration) the age or condition of the parties. If you are assaulted by someone, you can file a charge for assault with the local sheriff's department.
